Then don't use tags which indicate the legal status. Easy peasy, right? The rest of your post focused on what a "routing engine" should do. But this discussion isn't about the routing engine. Different routing engines are going to have different rules. This is about the data, and the data should be unambiguous. That means not using the same tag for "illegal" and "bad for the environment" and "unsafe".
